Dementia Cafes on Romney Marsh
Dementia Cafés are places to get information and advice about dementia for people in a relaxed setting. Go along to one of Romney Marsh's cafes and have a cup of tea with someone who understands.

- discuss your own dementia diagnosis, or someone else’s, and think about what it means for the future
- get answers from health professionals and meet and learn from other people in similar situations
- keep active, make new friends and feel more confident.
